Realeasing in 2016 has its share of problems.First and foremost, it may piss people off because of its low cicle life.Second is that the PS4 is the cool guy now, and i believe it still hasnt reached its peak.If they release it in 2016, with most people convinced that the PS4 is still the best choice, specially with the price cut that will probably come from japan to the rest of the world, and unless it has something that will blow people minds away, the NX will just fail.Another important point is that, if Nintendo really just started showing the NX to the other developers this E3, it would mean they would just have one year and a half to learn its software AND develop games for it.Thats would just be a dumb move to make.2017 would be better, not just because this PS4 momentum by then may pass, but that would give developers to port games for it, or even make exclusives, and also would give nintendo time to get more experienced with the internet service that it is probably developing with DENA.

They're probably screwed either way, but 2017 ... forget even talking about Sony. Sony will be laughing at the finish line. 

Even catching Microsoft is basically a non-starter. 

If it is a traditional console, then it's basically gaurunteed third place. And a distant third place at that, it won't be even close like the GameCube third place was. 

Fall 2017 November, you're probably talking

PS4 - 60+ million, 1200+ titles

XBox One - 30+ million, 1200+ titles

NX - 0 userbase, 10-15 launch titles

I'm sorry but there's no amount of spin in the world that can convince me this is some kind of sane, sound strategy.  

Well sorry if I don't see them releasing a console with a lackluster launch release library, and ports of games that will be worse then the competitors due to worse hardware resulting in lack of sales and ultimately 3rd parties leaving the NX leaving them in any better place than they are now. 

No spin in the world will make me see that releasing the console in 2016 is some kind of sane, sound stategy.

I'm also not getting how you can't understand a strong launch lineup and better looking and performing third party games would be a bad move for Nintendo...
